All the above problems clearly indicate that your Evaporative cooling system needs service or repairs. At REPAIR Heating&Cooling Our licenced and experienced Technicians will be able to determine what caused the problem and help you get it repaired as soon as possible.
WHAT IS NORMAL OPERATION OF EVAPORATIVE COOLER ?
Startup
When the cooling is first turned ON, there will generally be a delay before the cool air is delivered from the duct outlets. The delay will vary depending on the cooler's brand/model, but this doesn’t mean the cooler is not operating. Most coolers have pre-programmed delay times to fill up the Cooler’s tank with water and/or Pre-wet the filter pads. The entire process can take up to 10 minutes before cool air is expected from the duct outlets.
Shut down
Many modern cooling units are fitted with a sump dump valve, there is also a delay in emptying the water from the Cooler’s tank for a period after the unit has turned OFF at the end of use. Some models have an additional pre-programmed tank wash cycle. This washes the tank with clean water at the end of use.
If you’ve noticed that it takes the Cooler too long to Startup, or it’s continuously leaking water outside of the operating cycle - it might be there is a problem, and it’s a good idea to get it checked by a Licenced Technician.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ :
Q. How often should the cooler be serviced?
A. All manufacturers recommend servicing the cooler every 2-3 years to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. Maintenance is recommended to be performed before the summer season to keep cool and comfortable through the summer months.
Q. The air smells a little different. Why?
A. The brand-new cooling pads can give off a mild odour while settling in. However, if the cooler is a few years old, it may be indicating that the unit needs a thorough cleaning and check.
Q. How much water does my evaporative cooler use?
A. The amount of water an evaporative cooler uses depends on the cooler's pads' evaporation rate. On a hot day, the cooler may refill every half an hour.
Q. How many doors and windows should I have open?
A. Evaporative cooling relies on doors and windows being open, so you need to provide the minimum required airflow relief area. Refer to the owner’s manual for exact numbers. The Rule of thumb is at least one door and window must be open.
Q. Why is there condensation and moisture on my tiles and furniture?
A. If condensate is forming on a hard surface while the evaporative cooler is ON, first of all, make sure a sufficient number of doors and windows are open. Check that the vents are directed across the room and not towards the floor. Also, ensure the unit and filter pads are clean and free of debris.
Q. Is Evaporative cooling effective? How cool is cool?
A. The degree of cooling available from any air conditioning system, is dependent on the outside weather conditions. Evaporative Cooling works best on hot, dry days. If the unit is clean and functioning correctly, you should expect a temperature difference of at least 10 Degrees Celsius.
Q. Should water be coming out of my evaporative cooler during operation?
A. Modern coolers shouldn’t leak any water during operation as they have an Auto Drain Valve fitted. Some models will complete a flush service approximately every 20 cycles. Also basic or older Cooler models have a “bleed-off” system installed and will discharge a small continuous flow from the drain outlet while the pump is ON.

Serge was very professional very pleasant and personable. He explained everything that he did and why. He showed me photos to help explain what he’d done and why. He answered all my questions and explained why he hadn’t done some things.
This is my first experience with ducted heating and Serge patiently explained it all to me simply so I could easily understand.
And price was extremely reasonable.
I highly recommend him for any and all gas service.Mary Bashucky -
When my tenant reported that the cooling unit is not working, the first company came and quoted $3,200 to replace the entire system. I sought Serge's advice on the unit and sent him out for a second opinion. I was very pleasantly surprised that the unit was repairable and the total bill was $259.50 - a massive saving indeed! Highly recommended.

I found him on the net. Didn't know what to expect in term of price, charge and quality of work. He didn't charge for call out fee and worked within my budget and gave me the best quote. Very thorough with the gas work. He even found the gas leaked that supposed to be check by the previous work plumber, who didn't seem to noticed that. Thank you for looking after me over the years. And I proudly recommend him to anyone especially the woman who scared of being rip off by the tradie.
